Google's GDrive Could Kill the PC

The Rumored GDrive will let people connect to their PC's from any Internet connection. With the Google Drive everything will be saved in data centers. Users will not have to rely on hard drives to store all their information. All data will be saved to the web and PC's would act like a portal to the web. All we can wonder is when it will be available to the public.

Changing the way we think

This article considers the effects, to the brain, of receiving information off of a computer screen. Nick Carr, a US-Based Atlantic magazine reporter, says "over the past few years I've had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn't going - so far as I can tell - but it's changing. I'm not thinking the way I used to think". Maybe google is changing the way we think.
